Around a half 8-pointed star you can construct a regular gridof squares and rhombuses. [br]This combination is a wide spread basic scheme for muqarnas in Turkey.[br]The next applet how you can draw the outlines for muqarnas with different size around the half 8-pointed star. Fatin Uluengin gives Turkish examples fot the different options.[br]Click on the checkboxes to see how examples of plans fit within this tiling. Only the tiles at the edges diverge to fit with the border.
